If you’re looking to explore a more local Tokyo neighbourhood with a bohemian feel, this guide is for you.
🔇🙉 This area has a residential, relaxed vibe. It is great for people who don't enjoy loud, downtown noises and flashy neon lights.
I’ve included over 40 places to explore in this trendy, quirky, and hipster neighbourhood just west of Shibuya. And I've also added a newly built onsen/ryokan hotel which is super rare to find in Tokyo.
🚇 three station guides for travel and exploration
☕️ cute cafes and coffee shops
🌱 vegan & vegetarian spots
🌅 scenic spots and local parks
🍮 desserts
🍛 Japanese curry
🍶 izakayas
🍣 sushi
🍤 tempura
🍕 stone oven pizzeria
🌮 international food
🍺 craft beer & friendly social bars

🗺🚶♀️All the spots provided in this guide are in walking distance of each other. You can explore leisurely at your own pace without relying on trains.
🧑🤝🧑 👀 🍲 There are plenty of great spots for people watching, strolling, and food. Small shops run by local owners outweigh the chains, so all the spots have a much more personal feel.

This guide includes activities and shops located around three train stations and neighbourhoods:
1) Umegaoka Station
2) Setagaya-Daita Station
and the area leading into
3) Shimokitazawa Station
You can spread out a few days of adventuring with the amount of spots on this list, or you can plan for a full afternoon of fun, and then into the evening with the izakaya and bar listings.
⭐️ All locations featured in the Tokyo Tours video, "Curry, Coffee, and Cream Puffs" are included in this guide. Places in the video will be marked with a ⭐️ = featured in Tokyo Tours
